Dick Wolf’s Law & Order franchise has become television juggernaut throughout its history. The franchise has aired over 1000 episodes spread across the original series and its various spinoffs. While Law & Order: Special Victims Unit is still going strong, the original series was cancelled over ten years ago just as it was about to become the longest-running primetime drama on TV. Well, 10 years after its cancellation, a Law & Order revival in the works as it was announced today that they’ve greenlit a new installment which will serve as its 21st season.
On the revival, Wolf stated,
” The new Law & Order season will once again examine the police who investigate crime and the district attorneys who prosecute the offenders.”
“This is mine.”
Susan Rovner, Chairman, Entertainment Content, NBCUniversal Television and Streaming, stated,
“Law & Order is quite simply one of the most iconic shows in television history, and the idea of continuing its legacy and partnering with Dick on an all-new season is nothing short of exhilarating,”
“This is great news for NBC as well as TV fans everywhere.” Pearlena Igbokwe, Chairman, Universal Studio Group, added, “The return of the flagship Law & Order series for a pivotal 21st season is a proud moment for Dick and a proud moment for us, his studio partners.”
